I have a D-Link DFE-530TX+ and an Asus motherboard with the same 
chipset. Both work fine with the rtk driver in 1.6.1. However, I have 
had some "watchdog timeout" errors with the card in certain boxes. 
This is mainly due to the quality of D-Links cards - read the 
beginning of the rtk driver, it contains all you want to know about 
the damn things.

At least they're only $5US.
